THE DISTRICT WILL GAIN nv IT.
Two Decisions Made by the Court in
General Term To-day

Two decisions OF importance to the District were
made BY the Court In General Term to-day.
In the case OF Birth against the District the
court decided that the assessments for special
Improvements bear interest from thirty days after
the assessment, without reference to the date of
the lien certificate
In the case Of Fraser agt the District OF Column
bia, Judge Merrick this morning orally delivered
the opinion OF the court. This was one Of the
ler1es OF forty tour cases brought by the Messrs
B1rncy In which, by writ or certiorar certain tax
nen cases Eases were brought up for review. A motion
was made ana argued to Quash the certificates on
the ground OF llegality. In this case the court
grants the motion and quashes the certificate on
the amount as revised. The court holds that the
special assessments were ratified by the act Of
% June H. iS7s and as revised they should be col
date OF the original assessment.
Thls decision does not touch the cases based on
assessments OF the old corporation OF Washington

WHAT TIE DISTRICT GAINS.
MI Wm Oscar Rcome, chief Of the special as
sessment division, was much pleased when he
heard the decision.
''The District will gain about 500 900 by this /"
said me- "As you know, when the assessments for
special improvements were made in 1875 the peO-
pie OF the District claimed that they were errO-
neous and excessive The matter was brought to
the attention OF the Commissioners, and they Or
dered that the issue OF lien certificates be SuS-
pended pending the revision OF the assessments as
authorized 0y an act OF Congress. This was In ac-
c0rdance with the general wish Of the citizens Of

being charged with interest from the date OF the
original assessment. II this had been done there
would have been loss to the District OF 20 per
cent on the amount OF the assessments, being the
amount OF the interest charged at the rate OF 10
p r cent per annum for the years from 1875 to
1882.

SENATORS TO BE SWORN IN.
The Balance OF Power at Present Held
BY Mr.. RiddleDerger.

The credentials OF all the newly-elected Sena-
tors have been presented to the Senate with the
exception OF those Of Messrs. Blodgett, OF New
Jersey, Chandler, Of New Hampshire, Pasco, OF
Florida, and Faulkner, OF West Virginia The cre-
dentials OF Mr.. Lucas, who claims to be Senator
from West Virginia by virtue Of the governors
appointment, have been presented. There
are twenty-six Senators, whose terms
begun on the 4th OF : last month, to
be sworn In, OF whom fourteen are republi-
cans and twelve democrats. The republicans to be
sworn in are Messrs. Aldrich, Rhode Island;
Chandler, New Hampshire; Davis, Minnesota:
Dawes, Massachusetts; Edmunds, vermont Hale,
Maine; Hawley, Connecticut; HiscOck, New York;
Paddock. Nebraska; Quay, Pennsylvania; Sawyer,
Wisconsin; sherman, OHIO: Stewart Nevada, and
The democrats who will present themselves to
take the oath are: Messrs. Bailey, Tennessee;
BlOdgett, New Jersey; Cockrell, Missouri; Daniel,
Virginia; George, Mississippi; German, Maryland;
Gray, Delaware; Hearst, California; PascO FlOri-
ner, Of West Virginia, whose seat is contested by
As the senate will stand before the swearingin Of
ty.nve W We democrats, twenty tour republicans % and
Mr. Riddleberger. The twenty-five demoH0ats are
Messrs Beck, Berry, Blackburn; Brown; butter,

Wilson Of Iowa.
should any question arise before swearing in the
new Senators requiring q vote, Mr.. Rddleberger
would hold the balance OF power. BY voting with
the democrats he could carry or defeat any propo-
sttion, as the case might be, and by voting with
the republicans he could create a tie.
The general impression among democratic Sena-
tors now seems TO be that there Will be no delay in
seating Mr.. Turpie OF Indiana. There is no con-
test against him, the only objection so far made
to his taking his seat consisting OF protest from
republican members OF the Indiana legislature.
As Mr.. Turpe has regular credentials and has
been paid his salary all along, 1t Is not thought
there will be any serious objection TO seating him.
The democrats all agree that Mr.. Faulkner Is the
legally elected Senator from West Virginia, and
Will support his claims, 1t Is said. The democrats
do not apprehend any objection or delay from the
republicans in seating Mr.. Faulkner; hence the
prospect Is that the Senate will be promptly and
quietly organized. Should the democrats finally
determine 10 demand share OF the committees.
as some OF them urge, there may be something OF
contest, as the republicans are not likely TO con-
cede such division.

very bitter Mrs. Brookneld's SON says their con-
duct Is conspicuously lacking In morality, AID on
The question OF money injustice Is done the scrib-
nerS He complains that his mother was not al
lowed to see the proofs OF the letters and correct
blunders. Smith Elder reply that they bought
the stereotype plates from the Scribners and that
the Scribners paid Mrs. Brookfield sum for sle
American publication and also extra for the Eng
llsh edition; moreover, that they could prevent
the publication OF the letters here, holding the
copyright OF all Thackeray's writings, and these
letters We're well known TO exist at the time the
copyright was assigned them. Their contention
In TINS respect is correct The present Lord Lytt0n
compelled Miss Dewey to desist from the puollca-

alleged that the letters were necessary TO vindi-
cate the reputation OF Lady Lytton respecting her
